at the house Of a childless couple by the
name Of Sharp, who lived two blocks
south Of the D. & r. G.. depot, near the
d. d r. G. track, in the house owned by
VIM. Pitt OF the Overland House. Ycster-
day morning Undertaken Sleeves received
notification that a baby had died at No.
576 West Sixth South street, at the house
OF Mrs. Edward Reading. The under
taker was also notified that the ladies at
the house would wash and dress the
child and prepare IL for the coffin. and il
would be ready for burial in the afternoon.
In the afternoon il was taken in q wagon
from the house of Mrs. Reading to the
undertaker's, and later in the afternoon
was buried in the grave in which its
mother was buried the day before.
DR.. Benedict was asked If he could give
any information about the death of the
child, but said il was not his child that
was dead, meaning not the one left on his
doorstep. When asked where the child
was, he said it had been disposed of, who
had it he did not state; and also that the

twenty miles out OF town. He was shure
1t was well, and that the child that had
died was not Ella Creamer's baby.

Mrs. Sharp had for several days been

she did not deem advisable to account for
when asked about il. and whould give no
information about IL whatever, although
her neighbors we're very curious to find
out whose child ID was. The undertaken
was told that 1t was Ella Creamer's child,
and IL was also said among Miss Creamer's
friends that the child had died. It ap.
pears that an attempt has been made to
bring up the child where Its p~arentage
would never be known except to the per.
